We’re a really deep team for a reason, all of our rotation guys and several of our freshmen would be starters on other teams. Terrance can fill in just fine.
Our next 3 games are against Tech, Okie Lite and Colorado. We need Sharp for March not February
People say we’re deep, but we’re pretty much going only 8 deep game in conference games that aren’t blowouts. Francis, Wilson and Areceneaux are only bench players getting consistent minutes.
Sharps health is ultimately more important to the teams success than seeding is so I would tend to agree that resting him a couple game would be a smart play
I think you start TA and play more of Wilson. Play Mercy in spot minutes. TA tends to play better at home so maybe we can win without Sharp.
TT will no doubt be a tough test, though, so I think Sharp should only play if we really need him… maybe some spots minutes to hit FTs at the end of the game. I agree, he’s more important in March than now.
while it be a big win for us in the big 12 race i think we should be able to gut it out at home without him provided our defense plays as they are capable of
This might be a contrarian take but if Sharp and Ramon are not available, Jefferson’s on ball defense has impressed me. As a third guard to slow down Anderson or their point in spots.
What I’m hearing on this ankle injury (forget what podcast, it’s one of ours) is it doesn’t matter if he plays or not. It will take time to heal and if he tweaks it he tweaks it. The doctors are going to clear him. It’s more of a nagging thing. Again that’s what ive heard and could be a reason he isn’t out already.
Over the years, I have suffered several muscle/joint related injuries. Some, I played thru and some I stayed off the field/court. One thing I learned - shoot arounds are different from game/tough full pad practice. IMHO, let his rest the damage until he is needed. We have depth.
